A combustor for a turbine engine is disclosed. The combustor may have a can-like dilution zone, a primary combustion zone, and a secondary combustion zone. The primary combustion zone may be disposed radially about the can-like dilution zone. The secondary combustion zone may be disposed at an end of the can-like dilution zone to fluidly communicate the primary combustion zone and the can-like dilution zone.

A maintainable soil drain and methods for using the maintainable soil drain for draining liquid away from structures, such as Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) walls and earth slopes, are disclosed. According to an aspect, a maintainable soil drain includes a drainage pipe having multiple holes defined therein. The maintainable soil drain also includes a removable drain. Further, the maintainable soil drain includes an interior geotextile wrapping that substantially surrounds the removable drain.

A data management system for generating customized versions of data documents. Initially the document is stored as in the form of raw data, which is subsequently parsed into an internal representation of the document. In one embodiment, raw data is stored in XML form and is parsed by an XML parser. Upon the initial request for a customized version of the document, a sequence of transforms is applied to the internal representation and to subsequently transformed documents in order to create hierarchical, customized document levels. In one embodiment, transforms are implemented as either XSL stylesheets, although Java classes may also be employed. The document versions are written to cache, and subsequent requests for existing versions of the document are referred to cache. In the event that any document dependencies change, a cached version will be denoted invalid, and subsequent requests will result in the re-generation of a customized version.

A composite material and method are described wherein melted waste, chemically unmodified PET material and fly ash particles are mixed in a vessel to disperse fly ash particles in the melted PET material. The resulting mixture then is cooled to solidify the melted PET material to form a composite material having a matrix comprising PET and dispersoids distributed in the matrix and comprising fly ash particles.

A pizza sauce dispensing apparatus that includes a base, a motor mounted within the base, a pump mounted to the base, a container of sauce mounted on the base, a removable conduit connecting the container and the pump, a valve removably mounted to the container, a nozzle, another removable conduit between the pump and the nozzle, a nozzle switch, a bracket for storing the nozzle when not in use, an electrical control circuit for programming the apparatus to dispense sauce as a function of pizza size, a sauce addition switch and a sauce subtraction switch, and an electrical path including two metal posts and wire from the base to the nozzle switch. The parts having the sauce path are removable and washable even though some of the parts include an electrical path which typically cannot be immersed in water. The result is an efficient, relatively inexpensive apparatus.

Gas purification systems presently use air bleed from an engine and further remove carbon dioxide therefrom. The present gas purification and thermal conditioning system also bleeds from the engine, however; the gas is further partially filtered to remove solids. The gas is heated to a preestablished level having a temperature of between 800 to 1000 degrees Fahrenheit by using a first heat exchanger or recuperator. The system further purifies the gas by using a reactor system including a thermal reactor and a catalytic reactor. The system further purifies the gas by using a polisher and an absorber. After the gas has been purified, the gas is thermally conditioned by a supersonic turbine so that the gas temperature is usable for its intended purpose.

A method and device for adjusting the center frequency after fabrication of surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices by the deposition of a nonconducting coating which alters the SAW propagation velocity of the device.
摘要:
An apparatus (9) for plasma treating multiple containers. The apparatus includes a manifold (2) comprising at least a first chamber with multiple outlet openings and multiple hollow, electrically-conductive nozzles (10) for at least one of delivering or exhausting plasma-generating gas. The multiple hollow, electrically-conductive nozzles are connected to the multiple outlet openings and protrude from the manifold. A method of plasma treating multiple containers is also disclosed. The method includes providing a reactor system comprising an apparatus disclosed herein, inserting the multiple hollow, electrically-conductive nozzles into the multiple containers (30), evacuating the multiple containers, grounding the multiple hollow, electrically-conductive nozzles while applying radio frequency power to the multiple containers, providing a gas inside the containers, and generating a plasma. At least one of evacuating or providing the gas is carried out through the hollow, electrically-conductive nozzles.
摘要:
One embodiment of the invention is directed to a method for allocating and tracking funds to connected devices to enable the connected devices to perform transactions independently. The method may comprise, receiving, at a management computer, an input amount. The input amount may be associated with a first data store. The management computer may allocate one or more segments of the input amount to one or more corresponding connected devices. The management computer may associate the one or more segments with a second data store. In at least one example, the individual segment allocated to a connected device enables the connected device to conduct a transaction. The management computer may provide the allocated segment to the connected device. Later, the management computer may receive a residual segment amount from the device and may deallocate some portion of the segment amount from the device based on the residual segment amount.
